Chapter 972: Huge Profits

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Throughout the entire night, the small town’s streets were silent, with no more strange sounds or fleeting shadows appearing.

However, from beginning to end, the Indestructible Vision was active, indicating significant danger outside the window.

Even now, if Chen Fei were to venture out, the risk of falling was over 60% to 70%.

In the morning, Chen Fei left the inn, and the street was already lined with stalls, bustling with the same noisy activity as yesterday.

Chen Fei did not go to the vendors selling accessories but headed toward the city gate.

Chen Fei had more or less figured out the operational logic of the small town. What he needed to know now was what conditions were required to leave.

The information he had obtained previously was now obsolete, so he needed to verify it himself.

“Brother, you can’t leave through the city gate. To exit the city, you need fifty teals.”

A voice suddenly spoke from behind Chen Fei, causing him to pause and turn around.

It was a human, and Chen Fei recalled that the person had been among those gathered outside the Glass Space.

“Greetings,” Chen Fei said with a polite gesture.

“The city gate guards will ask for fifty teals. If you don’t pay, they won’t let you out. Damn, the situation at Spirit Concealing Lake is completely different from the information I had.”

The person, Feng Haijie, said, stepping forward and muttering in a low voice.

Chen Fei chuckled softly, “The rules of the entire Glass Space have been distorted. Such situations are to be expected.”

“I’ve been here for three days. If you want, we could team up. There’s strength in numbers,” Feng Haijie suggested.

“Thank you, but I’m used to traveling alone,” Chen Fei declined with a shake of his head.

“It’s very dangerous to travel alone here. If something happens, you won’t have time to react,” Feng Haijie said directly, trying to persuade him.

“Sorry,” Chen Fei replied with a polite gesture.

Feng Haijie furrowed his brows, looking at Chen Fei. After a sigh, he said, “You’ll understand later that it’s not that simple here. If you need help, you can find me at East City’s Ma Mansion.”

With that, Feng Haijie turned and left.

Chen Fei remained expressionless, watching Feng Haijie’s retreating figure, noticing a faint aura of death drifting from him.

However, upon closer inspection, this aura vanished without a trace, almost like an illusion.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. This aura of death seemed to be related to the fleeting tongue he had seen last night.

Chen Fei was unsure whether it was due to Feng Haijie’s prolonged stay in the small town or if there was an issue with the Ma Mansion in East City.

Chen Fei checked his own condition and did not perceive this aura of death, but it might be that a healer is unaware of their own abnormalities.

Seeing Feng Haijie, Chen Fei decided it was best to leave the small town as soon as possible.

Yesterday, Chen Fei had not seen this aura of death on other alien races. Was it because he had stayed for a day, leading to some change in his own perception?

For now, he could follow the rules during the day and find a place to stay at night, continuing to live in this small town.

Even as a beggar, he could still earn silver daily, and as long as he wasn’t too unlucky, he might find rare treasures without any risks.

Such a good deal would appear in the realm of the undying?

Chen Fei continued toward the city gate. After a moment, he returned.

When Chen Fei attempted to step out of the gate, the guard indeed demanded fifty teals.

However, when Chen Fei showed signs of leaving forcefully, the guard made no effort to stop him. It seemed that not paying the fifty teals would not result in any issues.

Fifty teals was still a bit short of what Chen Fei could earn in a day.

Relying on begging or other odd jobs, it would take an indefinite amount of time.

Chen Fei approached the accessory vendor. The vendor looked up with a warm smile.

“What would you like? Feel free to look around.”

“How much is this?” Chen Fei asked, pointing to a jade hairpin.

“Ten teals,” the vendor replied with a smile.

“And this one?” Chen Fei pointed to a ring.

“Eight teals.”

“What about this hairpin?” Chen Fei asked, inquiring about each item.

The vendor’s demeanor gradually turned from warm to cold, showing impatience.

“I’ll take these two.”

As the vendor was about to hurry him along, Chen Fei pointed to the two items and placed fifteen teals on the stall.

“Alright, I’ll wrap them up for you.”

The vendor’s expression changed instantly, flashing a broad smile as he quickly accepted the fifteen teals and packed the two items into a wooden box.

“Thank you!”

Chen Fei also smiled, taking the wooden box and leaving the stall.

In a different location, Chen Fei opened the box and noticed that the two pieces of jewelry had transformed slightly; their surfaces had become transparent, revealing that the items were sealed with Primordial Crystals.

With just a glance, Chen Fei estimated the total value of the two Primordial Crystals to be 372 Primordial Crystals.

Including the ones he had obtained in the canyon, Chen Fei’s total number of Primordial Crystals had now exceeded 600.

He had already accumulated over 20% of the Primordial Crystals needed to simplify the Celestial Suppression.

“Where else can I find Primordial Crystals or higher-grade spiritual materials?” Chen Fei asked, putting the wooden box back into the storage clock and turning to Black Rat.

“The wonton seller has Primordial Crystals in his pot, as well as some fifth-grade spiritual materials,” Black Rat sniffed and said in a low voice.

“Alright!”

Chen Fei nodded and headed towards the wonton stall.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei returned to the street corner.

Since entering Spirit Concealing Lake yesterday, Chen Fei had accumulated a total of 52 teals.

He spent 5 teals on lodging at the inn and 40 teals on Primordial Crystals, leaving him with only 7 teals.

Although there were still Primordial Crystals and other high-grade spiritual materials available on the streets, Chen Fei had already bought up all the Primordial Crystals he could afford at the moment.

With 40 teals spent, Chen Fei had acquired 953 inferior-grade Primordial Crystals. Combined with those obtained from the canyon, he now had over 1,000 inferior-grade Primordial Crystals.

This efficiency was astonishing and indicated the tremendous opportunities in this alien city.

However, the prices of items from the various vendors had risen significantly. It was evident that obtaining nearly a thousand inferior-grade Primordial Crystals in a day was no longer feasible.

More importantly, Chen Fei did not want to stay overnight in this alien city but rather leave today.

Accumulating money through the Disintegration Divine Ability was too slow; he needed to rely on other methods.

In the past half hour, Chen Fei had not only made purchases but also verified some things. He was now ready to implement his plan.

Accumulating money through simple labor was possible, but it required high-level work to achieve substantial accumulation.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei entered a pharmacy.

“Customer, what can I do for you?” The shopkeeper greeted Chen Fei with a smile.

“Does your shop buy pills?” Chen Fei also smiled.

Selling pills to the pharmacy was a quick way to accumulate money.

Of course, the pills in this city’s pharmacies were not the same as regular pills; Chen Fei didn’t have the skill to make them on the spot.

According to Black Rat, the pills in these shops were actually Primordial Crystal grains of various sizes.

These Primordial Crystal grains were likely mixed with some strange substance, maybe a rule or something else, though Black Rat couldn’t identify it.

However, the difference in pills was merely due to the varying sizes of Primordial Crystal grains. The internal contents were the same, even the sizes.

“Of course, we buy them. However, the price we offer is 70% of the selling price. The customer should understand this,” the shopkeeper’s smile remained unchanged.

“Alright!”

Chen Fei nodded and didn’t haggle over the price.

Everything in this alien city was quite rigid. Chen Fei had not seen any price reduced by even one teals before; it was always the listed price.

“May I ask which pills you want to sell?”

“I’d like to first understand the prices of each type of pill in your shop,” Chen Fei said with a smile.

“Certainly. Please have a look. This is a Vitality Pill…”

The shopkeeper nodded and began introducing the most basic pills.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei left the pharmacy with seven basic Vitality Pills.

The Vitality Pill was priced at one teal per pill.

Chen Fei took the Vitality Pills and found a secluded corner.

He glanced around and, seeing no other alien races present, began to test the Vitality Pills near the Primordial Crystals.

With a soft clink, the Vitality Pills and the Primordial Crystals made contact, but neither showed any change.

Chen Fei had anticipated this. He dispelled the two killing moves within the space compartment and tossed one Vitality Pill into the compartment while placing the Primordial Crystal grains in another.

Once the two compartments were connected, a large and a small Primordial Crystal grain appeared in Chen Fei’s hand. The large one was his own, while the smaller one was extracted from the Vitality Pill.

The compartment was left with only a fragmentary rune.

Chen Fei couldn’t understand the meaning of this rune; it seemed to contain a hint of rules.

Given Chen Fei’s rudimentary understanding of rules, deciphering the meaning of this incomplete rune was somewhat beyond his capability.

Chen Fei put away the smaller Primordial Crystal grain and held the larger one. The next moment, the fragmentary rune in the compartment disappeared, merging into the Primordial Crystal grain.

The Primordial Crystal grain began to distort and, in an instant, transformed into a Flying Star Pill. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The Flying Star Pill was priced at ten teals in the pharmacy. Selling it would yield seven teals.

Subtracting the one teal spent on the Vitality Pill, Chen Fei made a net profit of six teals.

As for the extra Primordial Crystal grains, they were negligible.

This was just the Flying Star Pill. The most expensive pill in the pharmacy was the Cloud Peak Pill, priced at forty teals.

This was what one called exorbitant profit!
